A member asked:

When can i take omeprazole? is it okay to take at night? how many hours before and after eating?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doesn't matter: It doesn't really matter as long as you're consistent. It may be better to take it shortly before you eat to avoid any mild abdominal pain.
